입춘 Ipchun

Beginning of Spring

The first stirrings of warmth beneath still-cold soil.

Seasonal wisdom

Families used to paste handwritten couplets called ipchuncheop (입춘첩) on their gates and doorframes, wishing for good fortune and abundance in the year ahead.

Draw something that captures the feeling of 입춘 Ipchun — its color, its mood, its moment in the year. Anything goes, as long as it's a simple line drawing in this term's color.
